Summary
Maria Cerase is a metric-driven Director of Product Design with 11 years of experience shaping product and UX strategy at MiQ, where she progressed from product and UX leads to her current leadership role. She combines product management rigor—defining OKRs, scoping apps and APIs, and running user testing—with hands-on design system stewardship (Fiber) to accelerate front-end delivery and unify brand usability. Her background spans data-heavy product work (data ingestion, APIs, DSP activation) and early roles at Google and Import.io, where she applied Python for quantitative research and cut time-to-data dramatically. Based in the UK, she is known for marrying design thinking with measurable business outcomes and for quietly championing internal tooling that scales both developer velocity and user experience.
